Sleep little flea

Little boy ?me?

A freak

Am I clean?

([background whisper] sleep)

I feel like men

(sleep little flea)

I feel like boys

(little boy me)

I think I'm peeling

And the ring in my ears

From playing too loud

I hear the ocean

I hear the crowd

Disconnected

I am unattached

Unmade bed makes me feel like a failure

Bedroom eyes lead to blurry vision

Blurry vision

Oh...

Oh...

And the ring in my ears

From playing too loud

I hear the ocean

I hear the crowd

Too pale, too sick

Too scrawny

But I'll sleep here anyway

And the sheets smell like bodies

Not mine

Not yours

Not yours...

It's 2 am

And it's quiet again

Where's my lip gloss?

And the ring in my ears

From playing too loud

I hear the ocean

I hear the crowd

And the ring in my ears

From playing too loud

I hear the ocean

I hear the crowd

And the ring in my ears

From playing too loud

I hear the ocean

I hear the crowd

    I cant explain song meaning from artist. Only myself... this song evokes how when your alone, a contemplating feelings, surroundings, the emotional build up of how lonely heart pangs can feel, the time spent wth others, intimacy, found or lost, inadequate, jealous and then wanting to scream on the top of your lungs at a show. After the sense of being surrounded , engulfed and a release of your feelings that you cant really complain to anyone..but still feel you have the right ( and need) to get off your chest. And then the simplest beauty/comfort demand or frustrating request when its not where you thought it would be....WHERE'S MY LIP GLOSS!! I love this! Like what the fuck now...Instead of screaming at someone, blaming something, hurting someone, (no harm done) ..Where's my Lip Glllooooossssssss!!! Veruca Salt thank you!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
